As you may have read in the media, a number of Educate Together schools received letters from the Department of Education last week, advising them to place a cap on enrolments. You can read Educate Together's response here.

These schools are just like ours - hard-working, equality-based, providing choice of provision for the community they serve and going from strength to strength. They feel victimised by this move and are looking for support in pushing back on this instruction from the Department of Education.

​Educate Together is a strong community and these schools would like to know that they are not alone and that they are supported.

​New Ross ETNS are holding a meeting on Thursday 8th February at 7.30pm in their school. They would like to see many there in solidarity and support.

​If you can make it along to that meeting, that would be wonderful. If not, perhaps you can make your support felt in other ways e.g. drop them an email, share their posts on social media or speak to your elected representatives about this attack on equality-based schools.
